Purdue looked pretty tough getting a win at Alabama.

Yeah, gotta give them credit. I had them pegged as a paper tiger, but they played like a #1 last night. Tough win.

I agree - I miss the days when players who played different positions had different skill sets. Watching a Patrick Ewing or JR Reid or Brad Daugherty or Eric Montross play center or power forward as it was meant to be was something. Now even centers and forwards spend much of their time just jacking up threes. Those days in the late 80s/1990s were special. As you said though, I guess I'm just getting old.

Agree, but at least this years' Heels team is passing and moving without the ball. What I hate are 4 guys standing around while one guy dribbles mindlessly around the half court - eventually shooting a contested shot.

In men's basketball.

I gotta say, for all the suffering they experienced having to watch Bennett's snooze fest all those years, I'd feel happy for my UVA friends if Odom could make them good AND exciting.

Georgetown beat Clemson today. Georgetown also won AT Maryland and beat Kentucky in a scrimmage in Lexington.

Georgetown needs to be in the conversation of tough non-conference opponents with KU, UK, Mich St, and Ohio St.

Maryland's top scorer had a dunk and then landed awkwardly and messed up his hip.

Warning: Do not look up this video if you're at all squeamish. It's really rough.

It looked like he could have injuries to at least 4 parts of his body the way he landed.
